<p>[Is</a> there any reason I should pick IB over AP?](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-baccalaureate-ib/1379366-there-any-reason-i-should-pick-ib-over-ap.html]Is”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-baccalaureate-ib/1379366-there-any-reason-i-should-pick-ib-over-ap.html)</p>
<p>I’d start here. I already posted there, but here’s a summary: IB is about teaching you how to think, where AP focuses more on content. As a result, I’m of the opinion IB gives a student a better feel for what college will be truly like, where AP just gives you the college-level material. I’ve taken both kinds of courses, so I feel fairly confident in saying that (though, as always, it depends on the individual teachers).</p>
